Heartfelt Reunion
Added 2020-07-04 14:39:36 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite things to do when DMing is to find elegant ways of reintroducing characters that the party first met ages ago. Especially if the party decides they love some random Boblin the Goblin, bringing that character back in an unexpected way can be so satisfying. The nature of adventuring is that you want to throw a lot of novelty at your players to keep them excited, but a reminder of their humble origins can occasionally be a touching and sincere moment of genuine relief or nostalgia.
That was the mood I was trying to capture in my track "I Knew I'd See You Again." It's perhaps a bit saccharine, but sometimes a truly special moment needs to be scored with equally sweet music. This track is certainly pastoral in nature, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least a bit inspired by The Shire. That said, even for less purely heartfelt moments, this is totally appropriate for "quaint village" music. Think of this as a sort of companion piece to "Grimdocks." If your campaign starts in a shithole, play "Grimdocks." If it starts in a idyllic SNES RPG-esque village, "I Knew I'd See You Again" will be perfect.
Onto some other news: "Life Returning to a Tainted Forest" won this month's track poll (congrats to FusionZero in the Discord!) and looping tracks are coming very soon.
